ave faced danger.But now... the situation is very clear."Boom!"Just as Anderson was daydreaming about accepting the accolades, Violet blasted another undead to smithereens.In just a few minutes after...The news that Long Shi ascended to the top of the Heavenly Ranking rapidly swept through the entire Beidu.

For a time, the name Dragon Slayer became the hottest topic of discussion.

This name is utterly unfamiliar to everyone, clearly not originating from any major sects or families.

But in Beidu, there is indeed a Dragon Family.

But this Dragon family, is not a martial arts family, but a secular one.

And, even within secular families, they could only be ranked in the middle or lower class.

Logically speaking, such a family would be incapable of raising someone with this level of talent.

But throughout all of Beidu, there was only this one family surnamed Long...

Many people cast doubtful glances at the Dragon family.

In less than an hour, the Long family issued a statement:

"The number one dragon slayer on the heavenly list has nothing to do with our Dragon family."

After Long's statement was released, it caused an uproar.

If Long Shi were a member of the Dragon Clan, it would be a surprising but understandable thing.

In the history of scorching summers, there have indeed been many extraordinary talents who emerged from ordinary backgrounds, even poverty.

Now, the Dragon family denies that Long Shi is one of their own.

This also means that Long Shi is very likely from other regions, or an independent cultivator.

A young man from another region ascended the Heavenly Ranking, suppressing the geniuses of the major clans and sects in Beidu...

For the Beidu martial arts world, this is undoubtedly a disgrace.

……

Fang Yu left Yinyin Mountain Villa and slowly walked home.

On the road, he was thinking about some things.

Wang Wenshan has a high probability of having been infiltrated by the half-spirit race.

As for this, Huixu said he would go and verify it.

As for Tianchen, we can only wait for now.

Since the Halflings sent twenty-six five-star mages, they must have their purposes.

But they didn't make a move, revealing nothing, and Huai Xu had no way to deal with the situation for now.

Direct questioning will yield little and would reveal that you already know about Tianchen being controlled.

In dealing with the entire matter of the Half-Spirit race, there are currently only two words to describe it.

Passive, extremely passive.

The Halflings are like beings hidden in the air, invisible but leaving traces everywhere.

I have to admit, Dao Kong is still quite capable.

Of course, he still doesn't deserve the full title of "Celestial Immortal," but at least in terms of concealing himself, he has achieved the utmost.

……

When Fang Yu returned home, Tang Xiaorou was chatting and resting with Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zi Nan, moving out small wooden stools and sitting in front of the bamboo building.

To be honest, I don't want to get involved in any unnecessary things, she is still very happy today.

Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zinan are both extremely gentle people. The three of them walked along a small stream, by the emerald green pastures, for two or three hours without feeling the slightest fatigue. Instead, they felt more refreshed and energetic with every step.

In the past, she would have been rolling on the ground and crying out of exhaustion.

The only thing that bothered me was that after Fang Yu took her home, she disappeared.

Now seeing Fang Yu back, Tang Xiaorou was somewhat angry.

"Are you leaving" Fang Yu asked.

"Humph!" Tang Xiaorou turned her head away, pretending to be angry.

"Okay, Sheng Xue, you send her out." Fang Yu said.

"...How could you do this!" Tang Xiaorou couldn't pretend anymore, she immediately turned her head and said in a wronged tone.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want me to do"

"Even you should try to keep me here, just a little bit. Maybe let me finish dinner first or at least sit for a while longer..." Tang Xiaorou said.

"You can stay here if you want. It's two thousand a day," Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "This should be cheaper than the big hotels you usually stay in And my accommodations..."

"How can you charge!" Tang Xiaorou widened her beautiful eyes and asked.

"Of course, it's going to cost you," Fang Yu said. "This is my private residence, and as an outsider, wanting to stay here for free... is impossible."

"Well, then, how come they don't use them" Tang Xiaorou's face flushed red as she glanced at Zhao Zi'nan and Ye Shengxue who were sitting beside her.

“If you were to help out here, I might consider reducing your rent,” Fang Yu said. “But you’d still have to pay something, because I don’t think you could do much.”

"You, don't look down on people!" Tang Xiaorou retorted, her chin held high. "I can do things very well now! At my home in Nandou, I often cook for myself..."

"Alright, then you're in charge of dinner tonight," Fang Yu said. "Since you're treating my house like an attraction, you also have to pay the admission fee. This dinner is your ticket price for tonight."

“You, you’re too much, Fang Yu!” Tang Xiaorou gritted her teeth in anger.

When Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou were talking, Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zinan watched silently from the side.

Yè Shèngxu had a faint smile on her face, while Zhào Zǐnán's eyes showed a hint of envy.

She also longs to be like Tang Xiaorou, able to communicate with Fang Yu so freely and without restraint.

But whenever she had the chance to be alone with Fang Yu, she would always feel shy and afraid. She wouldn't dare to say much, let alone argue with Tang Xiaorou like this.

"At seven o'clock this evening, I want to have dinner, or else you won't be allowed to come to my house anymore."

After finishing his words, Fang Yu left the bamboo house and headed for the clock tower.

"How did you leave again!" Tang Xiaorou wanted to chase after him.

But Ye Shengxue stood up and stopped Tang Xiaorou, saying, "Xiaorou, Mr. Fang must be busy with something. Let's not disturb him."

"Don't worry, I'll help you with dinner tonight."

Ye Shengxue winked at Tang Xiaorou and smiled sweetly.

This smile made Tang Xiaorou's heart skip a beat.

Ye Shengxue, she is truly beautiful and gentle.

Such a girl... I'm afraid she is the type men like.

Fang Yu spent every day with her....

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaorou felt a sourness in her heart again, and she felt very uncomfortable.

……

Fang Yu arrived at the top of the clock tower.

This afternoon, he began to feel the unusual energy coming from the Heavenly Prism.

He knew, it must be a formation beneath some observatory that had fluctuated.

Arriving at the top floor of the clock tower, Fang Yu scanned the thirty-seven scenes surrounding him.

Soon, he discovered the source of the unusual aura.

The observatory is located on the outskirts of Beidu, not far from Fang Yu's home.

"This place..."

Fang Yu didn't stop at all, he directly activated the Kong Ling Ring, instantly teleporting to the location of this observatory.

Then, guided by the direction of the formation beneath the observatory, he slowly reached out.

Ahead lies a grove of small trees.

Before Fang Yu had taken a few steps, he felt a presence not far ahead.

Fang Yu's eyes twitched, he concealed his figure and aura, and sped forward.

Soon, he saw a clear spring appear before him.

Before the clear spring, stood a figure dressed in simple, even ragged clothing.

"It's not time yet, three days." The figure stared at the spring water before him, muttering.

Fāngyǔ glanced at the figure and also looked at the clear spring.

This pool of clear water is surrounded by several large stones, which doesn't look like it was formed naturally.

Judging from the direction of the formation beneath the observatory, this clear spring... is very likely the entrance to a second ancient relic.

However, I still can't feel any hint of the spring water flowing out.

Combining what that figure said... this ancient relic won't open for another three days

What is the identity of this figure Why did he come here, and how did he know the exact time

No, not.

Members of the Banshen Clan derive their core energy from spirit beast sources, making it easy for them to sense the distinct auras emanating from each other.

But the aura of this figure before me is nothing like that of a demigod.

... on the contrary, it's a bit like ...

Fang Yu's mind flashed with this thought and immediately froze.

Demon of the Prison!

Fang Yu widened his eyes, staring at the figure ahead. He released his divine sense and carefully sensed it.

At this moment, the figure seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head, looking in Fang Yu's direction.

Now Fang Yu could see his face clearly.

He was surprisingly young looking, with an unremarkable appearance. He had a scraggly beard but his eyes held a fierce and sharp glint.

Such eyes are clearly not what someone his age should have.

"Who"

This man stared straight at Fang Yu's location, and asked in a cold voice.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then materialized his figure and walked out.en I ascend one day" Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes twinkling."Click!"While Fang Yu was still lost in thought, the phantom of the dragon had already charged towards the source of the Nine Yin Ca...
